This three-volume series represents a comprehensive treatment of the beetles of Australia, a
relatively under-studied fauna that includes many unusual and unique lineages found …

Cerambycidae (longhorn beetles) and related families in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea
are important components of forest ecosystems and play a key role in nutrient cycling and …

Abstract Cassidinae (ca. 6000 species) is the second largest clade of Chrysomelidae (leaf
beetles; ca. 40,000 species). It has been historically treated as two separate subfamilies …

The high‐level classification of Chrysomelidae (leaf beetles) currently recognizes 12 or 13
well‐established subfamilies, but the phylogenetic relationships among them remain …

Background The great diversity of the “Phytophaga”(weevils, longhorn beetles and leaf
beetles) has been attributed to their co-radiation with the angiosperms based on matching …

We performed a comparative study of partial rDNA sequences from a variety of Coleoptera
taxa to construct an annotated alignment based on secondary structure information, which in …

Basal relationships in the Chrysomelidae (leaf beetles) were investigated using two nuclear
(small and partial large subunits) and mitochondrial (partial large subunit) rRNA (≈ 3000 bp …

The article discusses the existing condition of Chrysomeloidea phylogenetics with emphasis
on its years of phylogenetic systematic research. Topics discussed include the taxonomy …

Part 2 of this work includes a review of morphological and systematic work on Histeridae
(G07, revision), Bostrichoidea (G15), Coccinelloidea (G16), Lymexyloidea+ Tenebrionoidea …

Chrysomelidae is one of the most diverse lineages of beetles. The classification and
phylogeny of Chrysomelidae have been contentious. In this study, we obtained 16 new …
